Chipotle is testing new robots in a couple of California stores and says the Autocado can peel an avocado in 26 seconds, while the Augmented Makeline cranks out bowls.
Chipotle has a new robot called the Autocado with a key assignment: peeling avocados. The prototype machine “cuts, cores, and peels avocados” by the case before workers mash them up for guacamole in a process Chipotle is describing as using cobots . The company says the robot being tested in a store at 20972 Magnolia St. in Huntington Beach, California, will help free employees up for other tasks.
The “size agnostic” Autocado machine can get an avocado peeled and seeded within 26 seconds, according to Chipotle. Chipotle says it has invested money from a $100 million venture fund into both of the companies it partnered with for the two new systems — Vebu for the Autocado and Hyphen helped create its new Augmented Makeline.
